Electronic system hardware for secure payments for vehicles

ABSTRACT

A system and method which includes hardware and software is disclosed which may enable secure transactions from a vehicle.

BACKGROUND

As electronic payments become more and more common, users desire more and more convenience when it comes to paying for goods and services. While mobile computing devices have enabled more convenient payment options, users desire more security and more convenience. Further, while mobile computing devices are useful, many jurisdictions have laws against using mobile computing devices while operating a vehicle.

Vehicle manufacturers wish to be able offer in-car commerce marketplaces for goods, services and entertainment. However these manufactures do not wish to have to handle personal payment account information or to become payment processors. Merchants wish to participate in digital commerce through in-car sales channels for vending things like fuel, parking, tolls, navigation, entertainment, payment for food/beverage at drive through, etc. However merchants would prefer a consistent method for processing payments and accepting orders across vehicle manufacturers. A system which includes hardware and software to enable vehicles to be part of a secure electronic transaction would be useful.

SUMMARY

A system and method which includes hardware and software is disclosed which may enable secure transactions from a vehicle. The system may include a mobile computing device or may utilize the computing devices that are part of the vehicle along with remote servers and cloud computing systems which may be part of the system to enable transactions to be completed in a vehicle.

A mobile wallet as a service like Visa Checkout may provide a payment backbone for the connected car. A wallet provider may offer a lightly branded ‘powered by a wallet’ payment service for storing consumer card numbers and a method to link a user's payment cards or accounts and payment preferences to a physical vehicle and user authentication method. Once linked, the wallet service may offer an API based checkout service that may validate commerce requests from the vehicle app store and then may generate commerce payloads in a standardized format to participating merchant vendors.

In another aspect, a user may “connect a card” to their car using a mobile app. The wallet app may provide an software development kit (SDK) to car manufacturers. The SDK may allow users to sign up or sign in to the wallet app and select a card or account to connected to their vehicle. The app may then connect to the car by means of Bluetooth or other means such as a one-time pairing code.

Once connected, the consumer may be able to shop for services on a store platform via the in-dash display and/or by voice commands with the car. The car may authenticate the customer by means of hardware factors (something the user has, the car) and something the user is (such as voice recognition or touch authentication) to request payment authorization.

To place orders, the vehicle may communicate to wallet provider servers directly through wireless modem or by tethering to a mobile app such as the mobile wallet application. The wallet application may receive an user authentication token from vehicle, a merchant ID and order details. The wallet application may validate the request and perform risk checks. On success, the wallet may generate a standard VCO payload with the merchant's encryption key and return a Call ID (an encrypted reference to this payload) to the app store platform powering the car. The app store platform may return the order and the Call ID to the merchant to fulfill. The merchant may use the Call ID to retrieve payment credentials from the wallet provider, decrypt the payment credentials and execute a transaction and fulfill the order.

SPECIFICATION

As electronic payments become more and more common, users desire more and more convenience when it comes to paying for goods and services. While mobile computing devices have enable more convenient payment options, users desire more security and more convenience. Further, while mobile computing devices are useful, many jurisdictions have laws against using mobile computing devices while operating a vehicle. A system which includes hardware and software to enable vehicles to be part of a secure electronic transaction would be useful.

Further, there are considerable challenges in implementing a mobile wallet. Trying to maintain compliance with existing standards such as the PCI standard is a challenge. Further, trying to establish merchant integration for transfer of secure payment information is a challenge. Integration with existing token services is a challenge as the token service is not designed to work with vehicles. Convincing merchants to buy, install and support the necessary equipment as is a challenge. Finally, there are many payment devices which may need to be supported by the system.

In response, a system and method which include hardware and software is disclosed which enable secure transactions from a vehicle. The system may include a mobile computing device or may utilize the computing devices that are part of the vehicle along with remote servers and cloud computing systems which may be part of the system to enable transactions to be complete in a vehicle.

A system and method which includes hardware and software is disclosed which may enable secure transactions from a vehicle. The system may include a mobile computing device or may utilize the computing devices that are part of the vehicle along with remote servers and cloud computing systems which may be part of the system to enable transactions to be complete in a vehicle.

A mobile wallet as a service like Visa Checkout may provide a payment backbone for the connected vehicle 270 such as a car, a plane, a snowmobile, a golf cart, etc. A wallet provider may offer a lightly branded ‘powered by a wallet payment service for storing consumer card numbers and a method to link a user's payment cards or accounts and payment preferences to a physical vehicle and user authentication method. Once linked, the wallet service may offer an API based checkout service that may validate commerce requests from the vehicle app store and then may generate commerce payloads in a standardized format to participating merchant vendors.

In another aspect, a user may “connect a card” to their car using a mobile app. The wallet app may provide an software development kit (SDK) to car manufacturers. The SDK may allow users to sign up or sign in to the wallet app and select a card or account to connected to their vehicle. The app may then connect to the car by means of Bluetooth or other means such as a one-time pairing code. In another embodiment, vehicle users may be prompted to add a car to establish payment functionality using the hardware in the vehicle.

Once connected, the consumer may be able to shop for services on a store platform via the in-dash display and/or by voice commands with the car. The car may authenticate the customer by means of hardware factors (something the user has, the car) and something the user is (such as voice recognition or touch authentication) to request payment authorization. The merchant applications may be displayed in the vehicle and payments may use the wallet application to assist in making payments.

To place orders, the vehicle may communicate to wallet provider servers directly through wireless modem or by tethering to a mobile app such as the mobile wallet application. The wallet application may receive an user authentication token from vehicle, a merchant ID and order details. The wallet application may validate the request and perform risk checks. On success, the wallet may generate a standard VCO payload with the merchant's encryption key and return a Call ID (an encrypted reference to this payload) to the app store platform powering the car. The app store platform may return the order and the Call ID to the merchant to fulfill. The merchant may use the Call ID to retrieve payment credentials from the wallet provider, decrypt the payment credentials and execute a transaction and fulfill the order. The button integration approach may be handled and or managed by an aggregator service. Similarly, the authentication approach may handle and or manage aggregator service.

The system may also allow a user to set up delivery preferences for goods or services purchased from the vehicle. For example, GPS may be used to establish the location of the vehicle and deliveries may be made to the GPS location. In other embodiments, a user may add a home address for goods and services to be delivered to the home address. In some embodiments, a user may be able to rotate through a carousel of previously entered addresses to select a delivery address.

In use, the payment system may have many unique abilities using the hardware designed to be part of the system. As an example, a user may be able to pay for gas using a dashboard in a car. Further, the car may know the amount of fuel needed and the current fuel price and may be able to request an authorization amount which is very precise. Applications from a variety of vendors may be available for download and use and the vendor applications may integrate with the integrated service to make payments in a vehicle secure and simple.

Further, the location of the vehicle may be used to select one payment device over another. For example, if the vehicle is near work, a work credit card may be selected to make payments. If the vehicle is near home, a personal credit card may be selected to make payments.

The solution solves many major technical challenges such as how to efficiently and securely make payments using existing payment systems. Using additional fields in electronic wallet communications, the vehicle may be to communicate additional information which may allow goods and services to be purchases using wallet applications. Additional benefits may be that existing wallet services may be used as part of the system which may already be familiar to consumers.

Referring to FIG. 1a , the illustration may be a high level overview of the system and method. A consumer may use an integrated front end on an electronic display to begin the process. An application may exist in the vehicle which may communicate with an aggregator service 110 including identification information. The identification information may be communicated to a payment service 120 where the identification information may be confirmed or denied. The results of the identification determination may be communicated to the application in the vehicle. The identification also may be communicated to a merchant application which may operate in the vehicle or may be communicated to the vehicle. The merchant may use the identification to verify a user and request payment information which may be in the form of a token from a token service 130 which may be provided by a wallet provider 120. The token may be used by the merchant application to complete the transaction.

Referring to FIG. 1b , a consumer may interact with an aggregator service 110 to begin the process. The aggregator service 110 may initiate a payment request by receiving a Call Id from a vehicle. The Call ID may be a unique code that represents a vehicle.

The consumer may be authenticated using an authentication token generated from a checkout service 220 for security. The Call ID may be passed to the merchant 140 which may indicate the completion of a payment request. The merchant 140 may retrieve payment details utilizing the call id passed by the aggregator service.

The Call ID may be a code that is unique to the vehicle such that the vehicle may be recognized by the system. For example, a car Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) may be the Call ID. In another embodiment, a computing device in the vehicle may have a MAC address that may be unique and may be used as the Call ID. In yet other embodiments, the Call ID may be a one-time use code generated in a manner similar to an electronic token.

Referring to FIG. 2, an overview of the integration service 200 may be illustrated. The integration service 200 may operate on a dedicated server specifically designed and built to handle the demands of the integration service 200. At block 1, payment credentials may be added in the wallet application 220 as part of the aggregator services 110. Once the payment credentials are added, purchase services in the vehicle may be available through the connected services platform. For example, merchant applications may be download on the vehicle and may interface with the various aspects of the connected service platform to enable purchases.

At block 3, the integrated service 210 may integrate with the connected services platform 200 to provide services for the user through the aggregator services app 110. The integrated service 210 may integrate with the connected service platform 200 to provide services to the users. The aggregator service 110 may facilitate card enrollment, provide payment credentials and lifecycle management through APIs hosted on wallet service 220

The wallet processing service 220 may have a variety of purposes and may operate on one or more specially designed processors and servers to accommodate the demands on the server. The processing service 220 may generate tokens through a token server 130. Tokens may be a representation of an actual account number but not be the actual account number. The token may be verified and the processing service 220 may only know the actual account number for security sake. The wallet service 220 may create a token cryptogram unique for each transaction. The wallet processing 220 service may use the actual account number to create a payment by matching the token to an actual account number. The wallet processing service 220 may also enroll accounts in the mobile wallet. The wallet processing service may also provide payment credential to the integrated services 210. The wallet processing 220 apparatus may initiate requests to manage the card credential status and changes.

The issuing bank or processor 230 may process the transaction by properly assigning the funds to the various participants in a transaction. The issuing bank/processor 230 may also receive notifications for token status updates such as Auth, Clear, and Settle. An acquirer/gateway 240 may also interface with the wallet processing service 220 and the integration service 210 to assist in transaction processing.

In FIGS. 3 and 6, a more detailed explanation of a service may be illustrated. At block 600, a consumer may interact with an integrated service application 220 in a vehicle. The integrated service application 220 may be illustrated in a graphical user interface in the vehicle or may be on a separate portable computing device that may be in the vehicle.

The user may indicate in the integrated service application, 220 an intent to make a purchase 605. The integrated service may communicate a message to the aggregator service (in the vehicle) to request a payment credential 610. The aggregator service may communicate with an aggregator platform for retrieval of the payment credentials or the aggregator may be present in the vehicle. The aggregator platform may be remote from the vehicle.

The aggregator service platform request for payment may include communicating a request to a payment/wallet application including passing an Auth token and payment parameters.

At block 615, the aggregator may prompt for consumer authentication of payment. The authentication may take many forms. For example, a steering wheel in a car may have fingerprint readers and the fingerprints of the user may be reviewed as part of the authentication. Similar, the vehicle may be a car and the car may have a microphone which may capture a user's voice and background noises which may be analyzed for authentication purposes. More specifically, a given automobile may have a characteristic sound. The background sound may be analyzed to determine if the request is coming from a known automobile. Logically, additional sensors may be used for authentication, from image sensors which may compare current images to known images, to retina scanners, to scent sensors to infrared or ultra sound sensor which may capture current inputs from a user and compare the inputs to known inputs. Thus at block 620, the authentication indication may be received from the use and at block 625, the authentication indication may be determined to be over a threshold or under a threshold. For example, characteristic of a voice may change slightly depending on health, time of day, etc. but the voice may still be authenticated with these variations.

At block 630, a user may select a payment credential. The credential may be a payment account from a plurality of payment accounts or may be a specific payment account set up for the vehicle. In addition, the payment credential may contain additional information such as the name of the vendor, the product or service being purchased, the amount of the purchase, the time of the purchase, the location of the merchant, etc. The aggregator service platform may encrypt then communicate the payment credentials to the integrated service provider platform. The aggregator service platform may respond to the connected service front end indicating that it has successfully acquired payment credentials. More specifically, the Aggregator Service front end may communicate/respond to the Integrated Service application indicating successful completion of acquiring payment credentials and passing unique transaction parameters & Call ID. The Integrated Service application may communicate with the Integrated Service platform to process the transaction.

The Integrated Service platform in response to not receiving payment credential from the Integrated Service application may communicate to the wallet application platform to receive the payment credentials using the unique transaction parameters received from the wallet app. Further, the wallet platform may communicates the encrypted payment credentials to the Integrated Service platform. The Integrated Service platform may decrypt the payment credentials using merchant specific keys.

At block 635, the wallet system 220 may authorize the payment. Assuming the fraud detection systems do not determine that fraud is likely based on the inputs and an algorithm, the transaction may be approved. The payment/wallet application 220 may also compile payment requests and the payment/wallet application may respond by providing the payment information & Call ID from the vehicle or portable computing device.

More specifically, the Integrated Service platform 210 may pass the PAN or token & crypto payment parameters to their acquirer 240 for authorization of the transaction in a business as usual type processing. The acquirer 240 may pass the payment authorization request to the network business 310 as usual type processing. The network 310 may detokenize the transaction, if applicable, and pass the payment authorization request to the issuer 230 for authorization approval and business as usual type processing. The account issuer 230 may confirm the authorization of the transaction and pass their response to the network 310 in business as usual type processing and the network 310 may pass the auth response to the acquirer 240. The acquirer 240 may pass the authorization response to the Integrated Service platform 210 and the Integrated Service platform 210 may notify the applicant that the transaction was successful.

The integrated service also may include a central marketplace of vendor applications which have been created using the Software Development Kit (SDK) that will interface with the payment service. The marketplace may accept vendor applications and may test them for compliance with the SDK. Once the vendor applications are accepted, the integrated services front end may allow the applications to be searched, downloaded and used. In some embodiments, the vendor applications may remain remote and the vehicle may access the vendor applications remotely through a remote communication link. The applications in the vehicle may be specific to the user and may be able to be arranged and displayed in a variety of different ways as desired by the user, such as by most popular, newest, geographically closest, etc.
